Happy Birthday to Our Blessed Mother

September 8th is the day the Church celebrates the birthday of Our Blessed Mother. I couldn't find any images of St. Anne with Mary as a baby, but I've always liked this one when Mary is a little girl and St. Anne is teaching her (I have a print of this hanging in my daughter's room).

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. 
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
